What happens in ‘The Penguin’ Episode 8?
Throughout the show, we see Oz’s character undergoing an emotional journey that culminates with the truth that his mother, Francis, knew about him killing his brothers and always hated him. Sofia tries to use Francis to break Oz completely, but almost as the Audience realizes it, Oz seemingly realizes that he loves his position in the mob more than his mother.
Oz finally manages to rally the second in command of all gang leaders, orchestrate a coup, and finally get one up over Sofia. We see how his years of being an underboss help him understand the frustrations of being in that position and the lust they might have for power. He also diplomatically manipulates Councilman Hady into making Sofia the scapegoat of the city’s criminal scene.
